No way! GI did not know how to do SW. PS It is insane to add ruZZian language in 2026 ### 5/5 — Toll gemacht. *2025-10-13* Die App ist sehr hilfreich und übersichtlich. Hilft gut beim Lernen **Developer response:** Vielen Dank für dein positives Feedback. Wir freuen uns, dass dir die App beim Lernen hilft und du sie als übersichtlich empfindest. ### 5/5 — Lernwortschatz A2 Niveau *2025-07-12* Ich kann mit der App sehr gut die Prüfung vorbereiten, fokussiere, was ich brauche! **Developer response:** Danke für deine Bewertung! Super, dass dir die App bei der Prüfungsvorbereitung hilft und du dich damit gezielt auf den Wortschatz konzentrieren kannst ### 1/5 — Es funktioniert nicht *2017-03-05* Es sollte ein tolle Anwendung sein, aber leider funktioniert es kaum nicht. Man kann auch nicht die Sprache oder der Niveau auswählen. Ich brauche diese App. Können Sie es bitte ausbessern ? Danke im Voraus. Tschüss. ### 5/5 — Please update app *2017-02-14* Hello My name is Moein (Iran-Persisch) and I'm learning Deutsch language and I'm using this app to improve my vocabulary knowladge level I think this app is very very useful but it's very out of date Please please please update this app for "ios" opration system and please add "A2" level for deutsch to persisch course Viel Glück 🙏🏻 ### 1/5 — Enttäuschend *2016-09-29* Kann ich die App meinen afghanischen Deutsch-Schülern empfehlen? Leider nein. Die Anleitung ist komplett und ausschließlich auf Deutsch. Was soll das?? Es müsste doch als erstes die Sprache gewählt werden können! Probelauf Deutsch/Englisch: fast keine Inhalte ladbar, nur für Niveaustufe A "Mein Weg nach Deutschland", sonst nichts. Gegenprobe Deutsch/Persisch: dasselbe. Niveau B: nichts. Niveau C: nichts. Meine Inhalte->irgendeine Option wählen: die App friert ein, nichts geht mehr. Schade. Das ist keine Werbung für Deutschland. (Check auf iPhone 5s, iOS 10). ### 1/5 — Ne marche pas *2016-08-07* Impossible d'accéder à quoi que ce soit, l'application se ferme, charge infiniment... ### 1/5 — An embarrassment *2016-02-17* It is an embarrassment to Germany that its flagship cultural institution can't even put out an app that works. Don't waste your time with this until the GI decides to enter the 21st Century. ### 1/5 — Menüführung *2016-01-19* Nicht intuitiv und keine Sprachauswahl ### 1/5 — Kann keine Inhalte anlegen - mangelhaft *2015-11-22* Man kann keine neuen Inhalte anlegen - und die App stürzt ständig ab.
